I saw this story in the San Jose Mercury News about Bay Area coverage.

"The first GOP gubernatorial debate is open only to invited guests but will air live at 7 p.m. Tuesday on KNTV-TV (Ch. 11), KGO-TV (Ch. 7) and KQED-FM (88.5). KRON-TV (Ch. 4) will air the debate at 10 p.m. "

I presume that means most stations in the state are broadcasting it.

So far only KFMB (Ch 8) in San Diego mentions it on their web site that I've found. Oddly, they don't mention that they are actually going to show the debate only that it'll be broadcast in the major markets here in CA. They might broadcast on their radio station AM 760 which supposedly can be heard statewide (the following is at both the radio & tv news sites):

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE DEBATE

(01-22-2002) - The first debate will provide many voters with their first glimpse of Secretary of State Bill Jones, former L.A. Mayor Richard Riordan and businessman Bill Simon.

The primary is March 5.

A recent poll by the Public Policy Institute of California shows four out of ten likely voters still haven't decided who they'll choose on the ballot.

The Republican hopefuls also are trying to woo independent voters, who can vote for any party in the semi-open primary.

Political analysts say the debates are particularly crucial for Simon and Jones, who trail front-runner Riordan in most polls.

Tuesday's one-hour debate will air at 7:00 p.m. on TV stations in all of California's major markets.

A second debate will be held February 13 at Cal State Long Beach.

The primary winner will challenge Democratic Governor Gray Davis on November 5.
